Conservative columnist Morgan Brittany thinks the recent unrest in Baltimore may be a “set-up” and that President Obama might “have to institute martial law to preserve order, form a national police force and postpone the 2016 elections” if the police officers charged in Freddie Gray's death are acquitted.

In her new column for conspiracy website WND, Brittany announces that “something is not right” and speculates, “I don't think the chaos in Baltimore 'just happened'; I think it was planned and is the next step in the breakdown of our society.”

Brittany laments that Obama “was supposed to be the one to unite all Americans and heal the divide, but instead, he did everything he could to turn the heat up and make sure the divide became wider.” According to Brittany, the president has “inserted himself into every controversy that had a racial component” and “always took the side of the African-American.” Following news of Gray's death, Brittany argues, “The leaders of chaos rushed to take advantage of that situation and all hell broke loose.”

After suggesting that charges filed against police officers allegedly involved in Gray's death are an “overreach,” Brittany pondered whether Obama would react to potential acquittals by imposing martial law, an idea she grants is “maybe” crazy:

So she and all of the people involved in making that decision have possibly created an even bigger problem. If indeed after all of the evidence and testimony is given in this case and the officers are acquitted, what then? I predict at that point the lid will blow off, and we will have another Rodney King situation.

From now until the verdict in this trial, the agitators will continue to travel and communicate city to city, town to town, stirring up unrest and hate, keeping people on edge waiting to see the result of this cliff-hanger. If the verdict is not what they want, perhaps Obama will have to institute martial law to preserve order, form a national police force and postpone the 2016 elections.

Crazy? Maybe, but we are on the edge in this country. Attacks are coming from all sides, from inside and outside of our borders, and we are becoming overwhelmed. What happens when Baltimore spreads across the country and our television screens show four or five cities burning at once? Who will we turn to at that point? “One Nation under God” - we need Him now more than ever.

Last year, Brittany speculated in a column that the Obama administration may have been orchestrating Ebola and other crises in order to declare martial law and seize people's guns.

Brittany's column shares today's WND opinion page with a column from newly-announced presidential candidate Ben Carson, which warns of the dangers of an EMP attack. The day he announced his candidacy, Carson published a WND piece pitching readers on what he will “accomplish as president.”
